Mumbai:The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday retained the same squad, barring injured all-rounder Hardik Pandya, for the remaining two cricket Tests of the four-match series against Australia.

The 23-year-old Pandya, who was ruled out of the Bengaluru Test due to a shoulder niggle, is yet to fully recover and hence was excluded from the squad.

India made a dramatic comeback to win the second Test by 75 runs in Bengaluru after being thrashed in the opening Test in Pune by a mammoth 333-run margin.

With the series locked at 1-1, all eyes will now be on the third Test at Ranchi, starting from March 16 followed by the final game at Dharamsala from March 25.
